Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic There are subwoofers embedded in the seats of Las Vegas’ Sphere, which is part of the reason why Mickey Hart‘s nightly extended percussion segment, titled simply “Drums,” is one of the clear highlights of Dead & Company’s current 30-show residency at the venue. But that’s not the only great use Hart has been making of low-end frequencies that people can experience when they come in for a show by the Grateful Dead offshoot.
Next door to Sphere, at the Venetian resort, a gathering space called Dead Forever is being anchored by an exhibition of dozens of Hart’s paintings. His method in creating these works is to gather a unique blend of paints and then let very loud speakers make the colors dance.
Hart has adopted the term “vibrational expressionism” for this visual artwork, although obviously it applies in some way to everything he does, not least of all to giving Sphere-goers an all-new understanding of what a bottom end can really be. Between Dead & Company’s weekend engagements at Sphere, Hart got on a Zoom call to discuss the pieces he’s put on display at the Venetian as well as his contributions toward blowing Dead fans’ minds for at least one more run across the street.
(Note: this interview was conducted before the death of Celtics legend and Dead superfan Bill Walton, whom Hart celebrated on social media Tuesday as “my best friend — the best friend I ever had.”) Where are you as we speak right now? I’m back home in Northern California now for a couple of days off, and then I’m going back in a few days and go after it again. It’s a new experience for us.
We’ve never played in a place this long, ever. We played like 13 Madison Square Gardens or something once,

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Reps for Sphere in Las Vegas said Saturday that the ban on a man who posted video of himself braggingly taking bong hits at a Phish show is no longer in effect, and that the edict barring him from MSG Entertainment properties was an error due to “a breakdown in our process.” At the same time, the venue reaffirmed that lighting up such a mammoth piece of paraphernalia inside a show violates both venue policy and local law. The statement from a Sphere Entertainment spokesperson, issued Saturday afternoon, reads: “There was a breakdown in our process due to a change in personnel which resulted in the letter being sent inadvertently.
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic What happened in Vegas will have a certain Phish fan staying out of Las Vegas’ Sphere for a very long time to come. A social media user who wanted to show off his bong usage to the world has been banned from the venue, and any of Madison Square Garden Entertainment’s other properties, after posting bragging footage of himself taking hits and blowing smoke out over the audience during Phish’s opening night there in April. “First ever bong rip in the Sphere,” wrote the user, posting video of himself standing in the aisle of the venue prior to Phish taking the stage, as he drew a very deep hit and then exhaled a thick plume over the crowd seated behind him.
